How in the hell she seems to get all the blame for our madness is absolutely beyond me considering the fact that I am, about 90% of the time, the major instigator in all of it. I've always sat back and let her fight her own battles since she is more than capable of defending herself and I have always tried to stay out of fights not involving me (one of my growing up with 4 sisters traits)..... but the fact is, it DOES involve me, and it's about time I say something about it.....
So from now on, anytime someone wants to call out Hooly for wrecking the Bored, or being the center of the universe, or launching "single woman morlock attacks"... when in fact, she has pretty much just been responding to crap from me all day.... those attacks may as well be directed at ME as well.... and I will respond as if they were in fact directed at me. I'm no longer letting Hooly take the shit from trouble that I am largely the culprit in. I know I seem to have a pretty good reputation around here as a long time BB in good standing, but I am no perfect angel and never really have been. I do not apologize for me & Hooly's quick paced tangents, though we have both been making efforts lately to keep our crap out of truly important threads (BDM's yesterday of which was clearly NOT one, though I guess he has a right to be upset that his helpful thread was already "on the road to ruin" before either me or Hooly showed up in in yesterday). Of course, for some reason this was never an issue when me and mini did the same damn thing almost every morning for 8 fricking years.... I guess it makes a difference when two long standing members of the Bored decide to have a little fun, but God forbid the relative newbie jump in..... especially when she's got perkitude to spare and doesn't take any shit off of anyone....
And Hooly, I apologize for not publicly having your back in this before now. I should have nipped this thing in the bud weeks ago so that you wouldn't have to come out on the defensive all the time. As much as it pains me to say this, I need to be more like clem......
OK, rant over. I am going to try to do better by Hooly, and at the same time, try to keep my shit out of other people's precious little threads as much..... nevermind the fact that the "hijackings", just as they were with me and mini, are almost always (1.) organic and (2.) actually started by some third party or parties...... and as I said just the other day, one of the coolest features about this Bored is never knowing where a thread's going to wind up.....

Ok……I’ll give this a whirl, especially since two of my call outs are mentioned specifically.
For me the main reason I didn’t address you specifically is that I’ve always thought you to be a most reasonable and insightful kind of guy. You’re bright, funny, witty and sharp as a tack. You also have given so very much to the bored over the years. You’ve created a dimension that I don’t think anyone else could possibly duplicate……..not any one person anyway.
Secondly, it’s kind of fun watching you chase booty that you may or not catch. Who knows? Who cares? ...........well, except you.
My remarks were meant for your eyes/ears also regardless of where they were placed. And here’s the reason: The fun and shenanigans are fine. Really, they are. But they are just so G-O-D-D-A-M-N-E-D pervasive. Like my favorite line from Starman where Jeff Bridges is the watching the redneck take a leak …….Redneck: ”Every Goddamn where you look.” It’s like Chinese water torture………an incessant drip, drip, drip, drip, drip. No fucking end in sight.
I didn’t have the same degree of problem with you and Mini because there was relief from it. Mini would be here a few hours and then poof, she was gone. Not so with you and SF……it’s morning, noon and night. No relief. I just ignored yours and Mini’s exchanges because they didn’t permeate the entire board. But it’s all but impossible now to even find, much less read, a thread that hasn’t taken on a tangential life of its own. When I open a thread and see four or more of yours and SF’s avatars in a row, I just close it and move on.
Thirdly, I haven’t cut Sunflower any slack because for the most part, I find her rude, just unbelievably rude…………not witty, not sarcastic, not funny, not edgy, not perky……just rude at its most common denominator, except when she’s having exchanges with people that she deems worthy. I could also say vapid, empty and narcissistic, but that might be a bit rude on my part.
And lastly, I know for a fact, FACT, that there are at least five other people on this bored who feel the same way. And BDM is not one of those five, btw.
And I agree, the wonderful part of this board is that we can all say what we want.
And I hope you don’t shred my avatars.
) then things might change between us
